Bloom

You catch my dreams
And set them free
If I didn't have you
I wouldn't be me

My soul blooms like a spring garden
Whenever you are near
I need you to carry my burden
And help me face what I fear

Life is so hard
My path is long
With you this close
I'll sing a song

I need to see your shining light
No matter what we face
Please say you'll stand by me in the night
Walk alongside, help me keep pace

All I can do
Is not enough
Yet I have found
A diamond love

Where roses bloom, we'll build our home
In peace and love to thrive
In morning light, never again to roam
From black nights we'll come alive.
